MS Maud

Formerly named MS Midnatsol, MS Maud provides a way to explore the beautiful Norwegian Coast that stands out from the crowd. Consider taking a journey aboard MS Maud, the answer to every explorer’s dreams. MS Maud gets her name from Roald Amundsen's "Maud", a ship from 1917 named after the first Queen of modern-day Norway. Hurtigruten also commemorated her in its 1925 flagship, the DS Dronning Maud ("DS Queen Maud").

Offering cruises specifically designed to enjoy the stunning Norwegian coast, you will have plenty of opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich culture of the destinations you will explore along the way. Hurtigruten’s long history of voyaging along this route guarantees you the most enjoyable cruise experience found anywhere.
